CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2012-0095895 filed on Aug. 30, 2012, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND

The embodiment relates to an optical lens, a light emitting device, and a lighting device having the same.

A light emitting device, for example, a light emitting diode is a kind of a semiconductor device to convert electrical energy into light. The light emitting device has been spotlighted as a next-generation light source to substitute for a fluorescent lamp and an incandescent bulb according to the related art.

Since the light emitting diode generates light using the semiconductor device, the light emitting diode requires only significantly low power consumption when comparing with the incandescent bulb to generate light by heating tungsten (W) or the fluorescent lamp to generate light by allowing UV (ultraviolet) light, which is generated through a high-intensity discharge lamp, to collide with a fluorescent body.

In addition, since the light emitting diode generates light by using the potential gap of the semiconductor device, the light emitting diode represents a longer life span, a rapid response characteristic, and an eco-friendly property as compared with those of existing light sources

Accordingly, many studies and researches to substitute the existing light sources with the light emitting diode have been carried out. In addition, the light emitting diodes are increasingly used as light sources of a variety of lamps used in indoor and outdoor places and lighting devices such as liquid crystal displays, electronic display boards, and streetlamps.

The above references are incorporated by reference herein where appropriate for appropriate teachings of additional or alternative details, features and/or technical background.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, the embodiments will be apparently understood to those skilled in the art based on accompanying drawings and the description of the embodiments. In the description of the embodiments, it will be understood that, when a layer (film), a region, a pattern, or a structure is referred to as being “on” a substrate, another layer (film), another region, or another structure, it can be “directly” or “indirectly” on the other substrate, the other layer (film), the other region, or the other structure, or one or more intervening layers may also be present. Such a position of the layer has been described with reference to the drawings.

The thickness and size of each layer shown in the drawings may be exaggerated, omitted or schematically drawn for the purpose of convenience or clarity. In addition, the size of elements does not utterly reflect an actual size. The same reference numbers will be assigned the same elements throughout the drawings. Hereinafter, a light emitting device according to the embodiments will be described with reference to accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side sectional view showing a light emitting device according to the first embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1, the light emitting device 10 includes a light emitting chip 1, an optical lens 2 to diffuse the light emitted from the light emitting chip 1 and output the light through an exit surface 22, and a reflective member 11 on the optical lens 2. The reflective member 11 may be included in the optical lens 2 or may be provided separately from the optical lens 2, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

The light emitting chip 1 serves a light source and selectively emits light in the range of an ultraviolet wavelength to a visible wavelength. The light emitting chip 1 includes an UV LED chip, a green LED chip, a blue LED chip, a red LED chip, or a white LED chip. Phosphors may be applied to a light exit region of the light emitting chip 1, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

The light emitting chip 1 may be located at lower position than the bottom surface (e.g., incident surface) of the optical lens 2, make contact with a portion of the bottom surface of the optical lens 2, or located in a recessed region of the optical lens 2. According to the embodiment, the light emitting chip 1 may be spaced apart from a light incident surface 21 of the optical lens 2 by a predetermined distance Z1. The distance Z1 may have the value of zero, or 0.01 mm or more. In this case, the central portion of the light emitting chip 1 may be disposed concentrically with respect to the center of the optical lens 2.

The direction of an optical axis (reference optical axis) Z refers to a light travelling direction on the center of the three-dimensional light flux emitted from the light emitting chip 1. As shown in FIG. 1, for the explanation convenience, a vertical direction upward from the light emitting chip 1 may be defined as the optical axis Z (reference optical axis) or a normal line. In addition, the light emitting device 10 has one rotational symmetry shape about the optical axis Z. In addition, it is unnecessary for the light emitting chip 1 to essentially have the rotational symmetry shape. In detail, the light emitting chip 1 may have a polyhedral shape. The optical lens 2 changes the direction of the light L output from the light emitting chip 1. In other words, the optical lens 2 diffuses the light L by reflecting light incident to the optical axis Z and to a region incident to the optical axis Z.

The optical lens 2 is a member to output light around the optical axis Z. The optical lens 2 serves as a light extraction lens or a lateral-direction light extraction lens. The optical lens 2 is a member to change the direction of light emitted from the light emitting chip 1. Although the optical lens 2 includes various materials, the optical lens 2 may preferably include a transparent material having the refractive index of 1.4 to 1.7. In more preferably, the optical lens 2 may include a transparent resin material such as poly methacrylic acid methyl (PMMA) having the refractive index of 1.49, polycarbonate having the refractive index of 1.59, and epoxy resin (EP), or a transparent glass.

The optical lens 2 includes an incident surface 21 serving as a bottom surface, light exit regions 22 and 23, and a recess portion 24. The incident surface 21 perpendicularly crosses the optical axis Z.

The lengths of the optical lens 2 perpendicular to each other may be equal to each other or different from each other when viewed from the incident surface 21. For instance, the length of the optical lens 2 in a longitudinal direction may be equal to or different from the length of the optical lens 2 in a transverse direction when viewed from the incident surface 21, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

The light exit regions 22 and 23 include an exit surface 22 and an outer sidewall 23. The section of the exit surface 22 is formed in the shape of a convex surface having a contour with a predetermined curvature. The exit surface 22 diffuses light incident into the optical lens 2 and outputs almost all light. The outer sidewall 23 connects the exit surface 22 with the incident surface 21. The outer sidewall 23 may be perpendicularly bent from the incident surface 21 or may be connected with the incident surface 21 while representing a curved surface. The outer sidewall 23 may be substantially parallel to the optical axis Z. According to another embodiment, the section of the outer sidewall 23 may be formed in the shape of a convex surface with a predetermined curvature, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. The outer sidewall 23 may serve as a surface through which light is output.

The recess portion 24 is provided in opposite side to the incident surface 21, and recessed toward the incident surface 21 around the optical axis Z while representing a concave shape. The recess portion 24 may have a rotational symmetry shape about the optical axis Z. According to another embodiment, the recess portion 24 may have a non-rotational symmetry shape.

The recess portion 24 may have at least two total-reflection surfaces when the contour of a concave surface is divided based on an inflection point. The section of each total-reflection surface may be inclined or curved, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

The side section of the recess portion 24 may have the shape recessed toward the light emitting chip 1 about the optical axis Z. For instance, the recess portion 24 may have a cup shape or a vessel shape. In this case, the recess portion 24 has the same center as that of the optical axis Z. The depth of the recess portion 24 is gradually increased toward the optical axis Z. For example, the recess portion 24 has the lowest depth at the center thereof. The recess portion 24 has the smallest thickness between the center thereof and the incident surface 21.

The recess portion 24 has total-reflection surfaces which are provided from the optical axis Z toward an apex 22A of the optical lens 2 and have curvatures different from each other or slops different from each other. The total-reflection surfaces reflect incident light. For example, the recess portion 24 may include a first total-reflection surface 24A, a second total-reflection surface 24B, and a third total-reflection surface 24C. The center of the first total-reflection surface 24A is located on the optical axis Z, and the first total-reflection surface 24A has a concave curved surface having a predetermined curvature. The second total-reflection surface 24B may be an inclined surface having a predetermined internal angle about the optical axis Z or a curved surface. The second total-reflection surface is connected between the first and second total-reflection surfaces 24A and 24C. The third total-reflection surface 24C is connected with the second total-reflection surface 24B, and located closer to the apex 22A of the exit surface 22 than the optical axis Z. The section of the exit surface 22 is formed in the shape of a concave surface having a contour with a predetermined curvature. Direction changing points among the first, second, and third total-reflection surfaces 24A, 24B, and 24C may be inflection points, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. In this case, the inflection point may be a point at which a concave curvature is changed to a convex curvature, or the convex curvature is changed into the concave curvature.

The recess portion 24 may have a circular rim or an oval rim when viewed from the top, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. The recess portion 24 may have a sink structure or a recess structure.

The optical lens 2 includes a convex portion 25 interposed between the recess portion 24 and the exit surface 22. The convex portion 25 is connected between the recess portion 24 and the exit surface 22. The convex portion 25 may have a protruding structure from at least one of the surfaces of the recess portion 24 and the exit surface 22, or a dam structure. The convex portion 25 may be an inflected region. The convex portion 25 may have a rotational symmetry shape about the optical axis Z.

The sectional shape of the convex portion 25 includes a curved surface having a convex curvature opposite to the curvature of the third total-reflection surface 24C. The convex portion 25 includes a convex curved surface connected between the apex 22A and a first inflection point P4 which is provided closest to the convex portion 25 from the apex 22A toward the recess portion 24. The first inflection point P4 is the outermost inflection point of the recess portion 24, or the lowest inflection point of the convex portion 25. In other words, the first inflection point P4 may be the outermost point when viewed from the recess portion 24, or may be the lowest point located closest to the recess portion 24 when viewed from the convex portion 25. The first inflection point P4 becomes a boundary point between the recess portion 24 and the convex portion 25.

The apex 22A of the exit surface 22 may be the apex of the convex portion 25 or may be the apex of the optical lens 2. At least one of side-sectional surfaces of the first to third total-reflection surfaces 24A, 24B, and 24C may include a spherical surface and/or an aspheric surface, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. In addition, the side section of the convex portion 25 may have a spherical surface and/or an aspheric surface.

The exit surface 22 may extend in a curved shape and/or with a predetermined slope outward of the convex portion 25, and refracts the reflected light.

In this case, when the light emitting chip 1 is employed as a reference point O, an angle θ1 between a first virtual segment E1, which passes through both of the reference point O and the first inflection point 25A, and the optical axis Z may be in the range of 40° to 60°.

An angle θ11 between a second virtual segment E2, which serves as a tangential line making contact with the outer curved surface of the recess portion 24 while starting from the reference point O, and the optical axis Z is greater than the angle θ1. For example, the angle θ11 may be in the range of 41° to 75°.

An angle θ12 formed between a third vertical segment E3, which serves as a tangential line making contact with the innermost curved surface of the convex portion 25 while starting from the reference point O, and the optical axis Z may at an angle equal to or smaller than the angle θ1. The angle θ12 may be formed in the range of 35° to 65°.

The convex portion 25 is provided along a peripheral part of the recess portion 24, and connected between the first inflection point P4 and the apex 22A. The diameter of the convex portion 25 is shorter than a first diameter X1 serving as the distance between apexes 22A, and longer than a second diameter X2 serving as the distance between first inflection points P4. In other words, the distance between convex portions 25 is in the range of the first diameter X1 and the second diameter X. The first diameter X1 may be the diameter between the apexes 22A or the maximum diameter of the convex portion 25. The second diameter X2 may be the maximum diameter of the recess portion 24 or the diameter between first inflection points P4.

Since the convex portion 25 is provided inward of the second virtual segment E2 passing the outermost portion of the recess portion 24 from the reference point O, the convex portion 25 hardly exerts an influence on the light emitted from the light emitting chip 1. In other words, since the convex portion 25 is actually provided at a region to which the light emitted from the light emitting chip 1 is not directly incident, the convex portion 25 may not exert an influence on the distribution of the light orientation angle. Accordingly, the convex portion 25 may improve the product yield of the optical lens 2.

The convex portion 25 is provided thereon with the reflective member 11. The reflective member 11 directly makes contact with the surface of the recess portion 24. The reflective member 11 may include the mixture of resin material and at least one of metallic oxide and metallic nitride. According to the embodiment, the reflective member 11 includes the mixture of resin material and metallic oxide for the explanation. The resin material includes a material such as silicon or epoxy. In addition, the resin material may include polyacrylate resin, epoxy resin, phenolic resin, polyamides resin, polyimides rein, unsaturated polyesters resin, polyphenylene ether resin (PPE), polyphenilene oxide resin (PPO), polyphenylenesulfides resin, cyanate ester resin, benzocyclobutene (BCB), Polyamido-amine Dendrimers (PAMAM), Polypropylene-imine, Dendrimers (PPI), or PAMAM-OS (organosilicon) having a PAMAM internal structure and an organic-silicon outer surface in a single form, or may resin including the combination thereof.

The reflective member 11 may serve as a high-refraction layer or a reflective layer having a refractive index higher than that of the optical lens 2. In addition, the reflective member 11 may include a layer representing the light reflectance efficiency of 70% or more, for example, 85% or more, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. The reflective member 11 and the optical lens 2 may make the difference of 0.1 or more, in detail, 0.3 or more in the refractive index.

The metallic oxide may have the content of 10 wt % or more, in detail, the content of 30 wt % to 80 wt % in the reflective member 11. The metallic oxide may include at least one of TiO₂, SiO₂, and Al₂O₃ representing a refractive index higher than that of the optical lens 2. Accordingly, the reflective member 11 may have the refractive index higher than that of the optical lens 2. For example, the reflective member 11 may have the refractive index of 1.7 or more. The reflective member 11 may include a ceramic material such as SiO₂, Si_(x)O_(y), Si₃N₄, Si_(x)N_(y), SiO_(x)N_(y), Al₂O₃, BN, Si₃N₄, SiC (SiC—BeO), BeO, CeO, or AlN.

The top surface or the high point of the reflective member 11 may be dosposed in the form of a convex surface toward the optical axis Z, a concave surface toward the light emitting chip 1, or a flat surface, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

The convex portion 25 protrudes in the shape of a convex having a surface that is rapidly curved from the apex 22A of the optical lens 2. Accordingly, a point of the top surface of the reflective member 11 making contact with the optical lens 2 is interposed between the first inflection point P4 and the apex 22A.

The reflective member 11 may make contact with the surface of the convex portion 25, and may have a diameter equal to or shorter than that of the convex portion 25.

The convex portion 25 may guide the level of the reflective member 11 when the reflective member 11 is formed, and may prevent the reflective member 11 from being provided upward from the convex portion 25. Therefore, the convex portion 25 may prevent the reflective member 11 from being formed on an unnecessary surface, so that the optical lens 2 may have the desirable distribution of light orientation angles.

FIG. 2 is a side sectional view showing a light emitting device according to a second embodiment. FIG. 3 is a partial enlarged view of an optical lens shown in FIG. 2.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, a light emitting device 10A includes a light emitting chip 1, an optical lens 2, and a reflective member 11.

A reflective member 11 is disposed on a recess portion 24 of the optical lens 2. A point of the top surface of the reflective member 11 making contact with the optical lens 2 may include an apex 22A of the optical lens 2 or the inner region of a convex portion 25. In this case, when the light emitting chip 1 is employed as a reference point O, an angle θ1 between a first virtual segment E1, which passes through the first inflection point 25A while staring from the reference point O, and the optical axis Z may be in the range of 40° to 60°. An angle θ11 between a second virtual segment E2, which serves as a tangential line making contact with the outermost curved surface of the recess portion 24 while starting from the reference point O, and the optical axis Z is greater than the angle θ1. For example, the angle θ11 may be in the range of 41° to 75°. An angle θ12 between a third vertical segment E3, which serves as a tangential line making contact with the innermost curved surface of the convex portion 25 while starting from the reference point O, and the optical axis Z may at an angle equal to or smaller than the angle θ1. The angle θ12 may be formed in the range of 35° to 65°.

The convex portion 25 may be formed in the shape of a ring interposed between the first inflection point P4 and the apex 22A. In other words, the convex portion 25 may be formed in the shape of a dam around the recess portion 24. The diameter of the convex portion 25 is shorter than a diameter X1 between apexes 22A of the optical lens 2 and longer than a diameter X2 of the first inflection point P4.

Since the convex portion 25 is provided inward of the second virtual segment E2 passing the outermost portion of the recess portion 24 from the reference point O, the convex portion 25 hardly exerts an influence on the light emitted from the light emitting chip 1. In other words, since the convex portion 25 is actually provided at a region to which the light emitted from the light emitting chip 1 is not directly incident, the convex portion 25 may not exert an influence on the distribution of the light orientation angle. Accordingly, the convex portion 25 may improve the product yield of the optical lens 2.

When viewed from the top, the optical lens 2 has a circular shape, and a radius D1 of the optical lens 2 is in the range of 2.50±0.5 mm, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. A distance X5 between the optical axis Z and the first inflection point P4 may be formed in the range of 59% to 65% of the distance D1. In detail, the distance X5 may be formed in the range of 1.50±0.5 mm.

A distance X4 between the optical axis Z and the apex 22A of the exit surface 22 corresponds to ½ of the diameter between the apexes 22A, and is longer than the distance X5. The distance X4 may be formed in the range of 65% to 71% of the radius D1. For example, the distance X4 may be formed in the range of 1.70±0.5 mm. The segment perpendicular to the first inflection point P4 is spaced apart from the outermost portion of the optical lens 2 by a predetermined distance D3. The distance D3 may be formed in the range of 39% to 45% of the distance D1. For example, the distance D3 may be in the range of 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm. In addition, the segment perpendicular to the apex 22A of the exit surface 22 may be spaced apart from the outermost portion of the optical lens 2 by a predetermined distance D2. The distance D2 may be shorter than the distance D3, and may be in the range of 50% to 80% of the distance X4. For example, the distance D2 may be in the range of 0.68 mm to 0.75 mm.

The convex portion 25 is provided inward of the tangential line passing the third total-reflection surface 24C of the recess portion 24 between the first inflection point P4 and the apex 22A of the exit surface 22.

The distance X3 between the apex 22A of the exit surface 22 and the segment perpendicular to the first inflection point P4 serves as the width of the convex portion 25, and may be in the range of 0.15 mm to 0.19 mm. A distance Z2 of the apex 22A of the exit surface 22 and a segment parallel to the first inflection point P4 serves as the height of the convex portion 25, and may be in the range of 0.15 mm to 0.19 mm. The convex portion 25 is provided inward of the apex 22A of the optical lens 2 to serve as the outer boundary of the reflective member 11, thereby effectively preventing the reflective member 11 from being positioned beyond the convex portion 25.

Referring to FIG. 3, when comparing with the maximum thickness Z4 of the optical lens 2, a depth Z3 of the recess portion 24 may be formed in the range of 65% to 75% of the thickness Z4. The maximum thickness Z4 may be formed in the range of 50% to 60% of the distance D1, which is shorter than the distance D1. The thickness (Z4−Z3) at the central portion of the optical lens 2 is the distance between the points P1 and P0, and may be in the range of 25% to 35% of the maximum thickness Z4.

In addition, the recess portion 24 of the optical lens 2 has total-reflection surfaces having different curvatures outward of the optical axis Z to reflect incident light. The recess portion 24 may have a rotational symmetry shape about the optical axis Z, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

The optical lens 2 may extend from the recess portion 24 to the exit surface 22 while representing inflection points. The first total-reflection surface 24A of the recess portion 24 is a region between a low point P1 of the first total-reflection surface 24A and a change point to the second total-reflection surface 24B, and may be connected with the second total-reflection surface 24B through an inflection point P2. The curvature R1 of the first total-reflection surface 24A may be smaller than the curvature R2 of the second total-reflection surface 24B and greater than the curvature R3 of the third total-reflection surface 24C. For example, the curvature R1 may be in the range of 1 mm to 2 mm.

The curvature R2 of the second total-reflection surface 24B is a curvature of the recess portion 24 between the inflection points P2 and P3 adjacent to each other, and may be larger than the curvatures R1 and R3 of the first and third total-reflection surfaces 24A and 24C. In detail, the curvature R2 of the second total-reflection surface 24B may be in the range of 14 mm to 20 mm.

The curvature R3 of the third total-reflection surface 24C is the curvature of a curved surface connecting the inflection points P3 and P4 adjacent to each other. The curvature R3 of the third total-reflection surface 24C may be smaller than the curvatures R1 and R2 of the first and second total-reflection surfaces 24A and 24B and the curvature R4 of the convex portion 25. In detail, the curvature R3 of the third total-reflection surface 24C may be in the range of 0.05 mm to 0.12 mm. The curvatures R1 and R3 of the first and third total-reflection surfaces 24A and 24C are curvatures of curved surfaces concaved toward the optical axis Z. The curvatures R2 and R4 of the second total-reflection surface 24B and the convex portion 25 are curvatures of the curved surfaces convex toward the optical axis Z. The curvature R4 of the first total-reflection surface (the convex portion 25) may be formed in the range of 0.15 mm to 0.25 mm.

The curvature R4 of the convex portion 25 is at least two times smaller than the curvature R1 of the first total-reflection surface 24A. The curvature R4 of the convex portion 25 is smaller than the curvatures R1 and R2 of the first and second total-reflection surfaces 24A and 24B.

Since the third total-reflection surface 24C and the convex portion 25 have surfaces curved in opposite direction to each other about the first inflection point P4 and curvatures R3 and R4 different from each other, the convex portion 25 may have a rapidly-curved surface. In other words, the curvature R4 of the convex portion 25 is smaller than the curvature of the recess portion 24 or the curvature of the third total-reflection surface 24C.

The exit surface 22 may have a plurality of inflection points P6 and P7 interposed between the inflection point P5 connected with the convex portion 25 and the outer sidewall 23. The inflection point P5 may be an apex, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. The exit surface 22 may be formed in the structure in which the convex curvatures R5 and R6 are formed outward of the optical axis Z. The curvatures R5 and R6 may be different from each other, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

The outer sidewall 23 may be connected between the inflection point P7 and a low point P8, and may be formed in the shape of a linear contour. The position of the inflection point P7 between the exit surface 22 and the outer sidewall 23 may be higher than the position of the low point P1 of the recess portion 24 based on a horizontal segment, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a portion of the convex portion 25 is higher than a top surface of the reflective member 11, and provided at the boundary region between the recess portion 24 and the exit surface 22. The width of the top surface of the reflective member 11 may be narrower than the distance (or diameter) between the apexes 22A of the optical lens 2, and wider than the distance (or diameter) between the first inflection points P4. In addition, the peripheral part of the top surface of the reflective member 11, which serves as a contact point with the optical lens 2, may be lower than the apex 22A of the optical lens 2, and may be higher than the first inflection point P4. In addition, a portion of the top surface of the reflective member 11 may protrude higher than the apex 22A of the optical lens 2, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. The contact point between the top surface of the reflective member 11 and the optical lens 2 is positioned higher than the segment E1.

According to the embodiment, the convex portion 25 convex in the direction of the optical axis Z may be formed between the recess portion 24 having a plurality of total-reflection surfaces 24A to 24C and the exit surface 22 to prevent the reflective member 11, which is filled in the recess portion 24, from being provided beyond the recess portion 24. Therefore, the peripheral boundary of the reflective member 11 can be defined, and the reflective member 11 can be prevented from exerting an influence on the surface of the light exit regions 22 and 23. Accordingly, the reliability for the distribution of the light orientation angles of the optical lens 2 can be improved, so that the product yield can be improved.

FIG. 4 is a side sectional view showing a light emitting device according to the third embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a partial enlarged view of the light emitting device of FIG. 4.

Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, a light emitting device 10B includes a light emitting chip 1, an optical lens 3 on the light emitting chip 1, and a reflective member 11 on the optical lens 3.

The light emitting chip 1 may be spaced apart from an incident surface 31 of the optical lens 3 by a predetermined distance Z11. The distance Z11 may be 0.01 mm or more, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. In this case, the central portion of the light emitting chip 1 may be provided concentrically with respect to the center of the optical lens 3

The optical lens 3 includes the incident surface 31, an exit surface 32, an outer surface 33, a recess portion 34, and a convex portion 35. The incident surface 31 may include a flat surface or a flat surface, which is partially grooved, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. The light exit region includes the exit surface 32 and the outer surface 33. The exit surface 32 may be convex outward of the optical axis Z, and the outer surface 33 may have a curved surface or a flat surface having the contour of a vertical line.

The recess portion 34 includes a first total-reflection surface 34A, a second total-reflection surface 34B, and a third total-reflection surface 34C. The first total-reflection surface 34A has the same center as that of the optical axis Z, and has the concave shape toward the light emitting chip 1. The recess portion 34 may have a rotational symmetry shape about the optical axis Z, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. The first total-reflection surface 34A may have a hemispherical shape. The second total-reflection surface 34B is provided in the direction opposite to those of the first and third total-reflection surfaces 34A and 34C, and has a curved surface that is convex with respect to the optical axis Z. The third total-reflection surface 34C has a curved surface that is concave.

The convex portion 35 has a curved surface that is convex in the direction of the optical axis Z between the first inflection point P13 and an apex 32A.

The convex portion 35 is connected between the third total-reflection surface 34C and the exit surfaces 32 and 33. The convex portion 35 is positioned inward of the apex 32A of the exit surfaces 32 and 33. In other words, the convex portion 35 is provided closer to the optical axis Z than the first exit surface 32. The section of the convex portion 35 has a curved surface that is convex in the direction of the optical axis Z.

In this case, when the light emitting chip 1 is employed as a reference point O, an angle θ2 between the first virtual segment E1, which passes through both of the reference point O and the first inflection point P13, and the optical axis Z may be in the range of 40° to 60°.

An angle θ21 between a second virtual segment E2, which serves as a tangential line making contact with the outermost curved surface of the recess portion 34 while starting from the reference point O, and the optical axis Z is greater than the angle θ2. For example, the angle θ11 may be in the range of 41° to 75°.

An angle θ22 between a third vertical segment E3, which serves as a tangential line making contact with the innermost curved surface of the convex portion 35 while passing through the reference point O, and the optical axis Z may at an angle equal to or smaller than the angle θ2. The angle θ22 may be formed in the range of 35° to 65°.

Since the convex portion 35 is connected between the first inflection point P13 and the apex 32A, the diameter of the convex portion 35 is shorter than a first diameter X11 between apexes 32A of the optical lens 3, and longer than a second diameter X12 between the first inflection points P13. The convex portion 35 is provided between the first diameter X11 and the second diameter X12.

Since the convex portion 35 is disposed inward of the second virtual segment E2 passing the outermost portion of the recess portion 34 from the reference point O, the convex portion 35 hardly exerts an influence on the light emitted from the light emitting chip 1. In other words, since the convex portion 35 is actually provided at a region to which the light emitted from the light emitting chip 1 is not directly incident, the convex portion 35 may not exert an influence on the distribution of the light orientation angle. Accordingly, the convex portion 35 may improve the product yield of the optical lens 3.

When viewed from the top, the optical lens 3 has a circular shape, and a radius D11 of the optical lens 3 is in the range of 2.50±0.5 mm, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. The convex portion 35 may have a ring shape, and the ring shape may have a continuous dam structure.

A distance D14 between the optical axis Z and the first inflection point P13 may be formed in the range of 50% to 55% of the radius D11. For example, the distance D14 may be in the range of 1.27±0.5 mm.

A distance X14 between the optical axis Z and an apex P14 of the exit surface 32 is longer than the distance D14, and may be in the range of 52% to 57% of the radius D11. For example, the distance X14 may be in the range of 1.3±0.5 mm. The segment perpendicular to the first inflection point P13 is spaced apart from the outermost portion of the optical lens 2 by a predetermined distance D13. The distance D13 may be formed in the range of 45% to 50% of the radius D11. The segment perpendicular to the apex 32A of the exit surface 32 is spaced apart from the outermost portion of the optical lens 3 by a predetermined distance D12. The distance D12 may be shorter than the distance D13, and may be in the range of 43% to 48% of the radius D11.

The convex portion 35 is provided more inward of the tangential line E2 making contact with the third total-reflection surface 24C of the recess portion 34 while being interposed between the first inflection point P14 and the exit surface 32.

A distance X16 between the apex 32A of the exit surface 32 and a segment perpendicular to the first inflection point P13 is the width of the convex portion 35. The distance X16 may be in the range of 0.05 mm to 0.11 mm. A distance Z12 between the apex 32A of the exit surface 32 and a segment horizontal to the first inflection point P13 is the height of the convex portion 35. The distance Z12 may be formed in the range of 0.05 mm to 0.11 mm. The convex portion 35 is provided inward of the apex 32A of the optical lens 3 to serve as an outer boundary of the reflective member 11, thereby effectively preventing the reflective member 11 from being positioned beyond the convex portion 35.

Referring to FIG. 5, a thickness Z14 of the optical lens 3 may be formed in the range of 1 mm±0.2 mm, and a depth Z13 of the recess portion 34 may be formed in the range of 65% to 75% of the thickness Z14 of the optical lens 2. The thickness Z14 is smaller than the radius D11, and may be formed in the range of 40% to 55% of the radius D11. The thickness (Z14−Z13) at the central portion of the optical lens 3 is an interval between points P1 and P0, and may be formed in the range of 26% to 36% of the thickness Z14.

In addition, inflection points may be formed at the recess portion 34 and the exit surfaces 32 and 33 of the optical lens 3. An inflection point is formed at the low point P1 of the first total-reflection surface 34A, and the inflection point P11 may be formed at the change point to the second total-reflection surface 34B from the first total-reflection surface 34A. A curvature R11 of the first total-reflection surface 34A may be equal to or greater than the curvature R12 of the second total-reflection surface 34B, and greater than the curvature R13 of the third total-reflection surface 34C. For example, the curvature R11 may be formed in the range of 0.5 mm to 1 mm.

The curvature R12 of the second total-reflection surface 34B is a curvature of a curved surface connecting adjacent inflection points P11 and P12 with each other. The curvature R12 may be greater than the curvature R13 of the third total-reflection surface 34C. For example, the curvature R12 may be formed in the range of 0.5 mm to 1 mm.

The curvature R13 of the third total-reflection surface 34C is a curvature of a segment connecting adjacent inflection points P12 and P13 with each other. The curvature R13 may be at least three times smaller than the curvatures R11 and R12 of the first and second total-reflection surfaces 34A and 34B, and may be at least twice greater than the curvature R14 of the convex portion 35. The curvatures R11 and R13 of the first total-reflection surface 34A and the third total-reflection surface 34C are curvatures of curved surfaces that are concave in the direction of the optical axis Z. The curvatures R12 and R14 of the second total-reflection surface 34B and the convex portion 35 are curvatures of curved surfaces that are convex in the direction of the optical axis Z. The curvature R14 of the convex portion 35 may be formed in the range of 0.5 mm to 0.1 mm.

The curvature R13 of the third total-reflection surface 34C makes a difference from the curvature R12 of the second total-reflection surface 34B and the curvature R14 of the convex portion 35 by at least two times. The third total-reflection surface 34C and the convex portion 35 have surfaces curved in directions opposite to each other and are formed with curvatures different from each other. Accordingly, the convex portion 35 may have a surface more rapidly curved than the third total-reflection surface 34C. The curvature R14 of the convex portion 35 is smaller than the curvatures R11, R12, and R13 of the first to third total-reflection surfaces 34A, 34B, and 34C.

The exit surface 32 is connected with the outer surface 33 while representing the convex curvature R14 outward of the optical axis Z from the inflection point P14 connected with the convex portion 35 to the last inflection point P15. The inflection point P14 may serve as the apex 32A of the optical lens 2 as shown in FIG. 4, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

The outer surface 33 is connected between the inflection point P15 of the exit surface 32 and the low point P16, and may have a linear contour. The position of the inflection point P15 between the exit surface 32 and the outer surface 33 may be provided on a line lower than the position of the low point P1 of the recess portion 34 based on a horizontal segment, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

Since the convex portion 35 protrudes from the top surface of the reflective member 11 while being positioned between the recess portion 34 and the exit surface 32, the width of the top surface of the reflective member 11 may be narrower than the width (or diameter) between the apexes P14 of the optical lens 3, and may be wider than the width (or diameter) between the first inflection points P13. In addition, the peripheral portion of the top surface of the reflective member 11, which serves as a contact point with the optical lens 3, may be lower than the apex P14 of the optical lens 3, and may be higher than the first inflection point P13.

According to the embodiment, the convex portion 35 is formed in the direction of the optical axis Z between the recess portion 34 having a plurality of total-reflection surfaces 34A to 34C and the exit surface 32. The convex portion 35 can prevent the reflective member 11, which is filled in the recess portion 34, from being provided beyond the recess portion 34. Therefore, the boundary of the reflective member 11 can be defined, and the reflective member 11 can be prevented from exerting an influence on the surface of the exit surface 32. Accordingly, the reliability for the distribution of the light orientation angles can be improved.

FIG. 6 is a side sectional view showing a light emitting device according to the fourth embodiment, and FIG. 7 is a partial enlarged view showing the light emitting device of FIG. 6.

Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, a light emitting device 10C includes a light emitting chip 1, an optical lens 4 on the light emitting chip 1, and a reflective member 11 on the optical lens 4.

The light emitting chip 1 may be spaced apart from a light incident surface 41 of the optical lens 4 by a predetermined distance Z21. The distance Z21 may be 0.01 mm or more, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. In this case, the central portion of the light emitting chip 1 may be provided concentrically with respect to the center of the optical lens 4.

The optical lens 4 includes the incident surface 41, an exit surface 42, an outer surface 43, a recess portion 44, and a convex portion 45. The incident surface 41 may include a flat surface or a flat surface, which is partially grooved, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

The light exit region of the optical lens 4 includes the exit surface 42 and the outer surface 43. The exit surface 42 may be convex outward of the optical axis Z, and the outer surface 43 may have a curved surface or a flat surface having the contour of a vertical line.

The recess portion 44 includes a first total-reflection surface 44A, a second total-reflection surface 44B, and a third total-reflection surface 44C. The first total-reflection surface 44A has the same center as that of the optical axis Z, and has the concave shape toward the light emitting chip 1. The recess portion 44 is recessed toward the light emitting chip 1 from an apex. The recess portion 44 may have a rotational symmetry shape about the optical axis Z. The first total-reflection surface 44A may have a hemispherical shape. The second total-reflection surface 44B is provided in the direction opposite to those of the first and third total-reflection surfaces 44A and 44C, and has a curved surface that is convex with respect to the optical axis Z. The third total-reflection surface 44C has a curved surface that is concave.

The convex portion 45 is formed with a surface convex in the direction corresponding to the optical axis Z between first and second inflection points P23 and P24.

The convex portion 45 is connected between the third reflective surface 44C and the exit surface 42. The convex portion 45 is provided more inward of an apex P23 of the exit surface 42, that is, provided closer to the optical axis Z than the first exit surface 42. The section of the convex portion 45 has a curved surface convex in the direction of the optical axis Z.

In this case, when the light emitting chip 1 is employed as a reference point O, an angle θ3 formed between a first virtual segment E1, which passes through both of the reference point O and the first inflection point P23, and the optical axis Z may be in the range of 40° to 60°.

An angle θ31 formed between a second virtual segment E2, which serves as a tangential line making contact with the outer curved surface of the recess portion 24 while starting from the reference point O, and the optical axis Z is greater than the angle v3. For example, the angle 11 a may be in the range of 41° to 75°.

An angle 132 a formed between a third vertical segment O3, which serves as a tangential line making contact with the innermost curved surface of the convex portion 45 while starting from the reference point O, and the optical axis Z may at an angle equal to or smaller than the angle v3. The optical axis Z may be formed in the range of 35° to 65°.

Since the convex portion 45 is connected between the first and second inflection points P23 and P24, the inner region of the convex portion 45 is provided inward of a diameter X21 between apexes 45A of the optical lens 4, and provided outward of a diameter X22 between the first inflection points P23.

Since the convex portion 45 is provided inward of the second virtual segment E2 passing the outermost portion of the recess portion 44 from the reference point O, the convex portion 45 hardly exerts an influence on the light emitted from the light emitting chip 1. In other words, since the convex portion 45 is actually provided at a region to which the light emitted from the light emitting chip 1 is not directly incident, the convex portion 45 may not exert an influence on the distribution of the light orientation angle. Accordingly, the convex portion 45 may improve the product yield of the optical lens 4.

When viewed from the top, the optical lens 4 has a circular shape, and a radius D21 of the optical lens 4 is in the range of 2.50±0.5 mm, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. The convex portion 45 may have a ring shape, and the ring shape may have a continuous dam structure along the peripheral portion of the recess portion 44.

A distance D24 between the optical axis Z and a first inflection point P23 may be formed in the range of 60% to 70% of the radius D21. For example, the distance D24 may be in the range of 1.6±0.5 mm.

A distance X24 between the optical axis Z and the apex 45A is longer than the distance D24, and may be formed in the range of 65% to 75% of the radius D21. For example, the distance X24 may be formed in the range of 1.7±0.5 mm. The segment perpendicular to the first inflection point P23 is spaced apart from the outermost part of the optical lens 4 by a predetermined distance D23. The distance D23 may be formed in the range of 30% to 40% of the radius D21. The segment perpendicular to a second inflection point P24 of the first exit surface 42 is spaced apart from the outermost portion of the optical lens 4 by a predetermined distance D22. The distance D22 may be shorter than the distance D23, and may be formed in the range of 25% to 35% of the radius D21.

The inner region of the convex portion 45 is provided inward of a tangential line E2, which passes a third total-reflection surface 44C of the recess portion 44 while making contact with the third total-reflection surface 44C of the recess portion 44, at the region between the first inflection point P24 and the apex 45A.

A distance X26 between the apex 45A of the optical lens 4 and a segment perpendicular to a first inflection point P23 is ½ of the width of the convex portion 45. The distance X26 may be formed in the range of 0.05 mm to 0.11 mm. A distance Z12 between the apex 45A and a segment horizontal to the first inflection point P23 is the height of the convex portion 45. The distance Z12 may be formed in the range of 0.07 mm to 0.11 mm. The convex portion 45 is provided inward of the apex 45A of the optical lens 4 to form an outer dam of the reflective member 11, thereby effectively preventing the reflective member 11 from being provided beyond the convex portion 45. The inner region of the convex portion 45 makes contact with the reflective member 11, and the outer region of the convex portion 45 does not make contact with the reflective member 11. The outer region of the convex portion 45 is provided in opposition to the inner region of the convex portion 45 about the apex 45A.

Referring to FIG. 7, a thickness Z24 of the optical lens 2 may be formed in the range of 1 mm±0.5 mm, and a depth Z23 of the recess portion 44 may be formed in the range of 87% to 93% of the thickness Z24 of the optical lens 4. The thickness Z24 is smaller than the radius D21, and may be formed in the range of 40% to 55% of the radius D21. The thickness (Z24−Z23) at the central portion of the optical lens 4 is the distance between the points P1 and P0, and may be in the range of 7% to 13% of the thickness Z24.

In addition, an inflection point may be formed at a change point from the recess portion 44 of the optical lens 4 to the exit surface 42 of the optical lens 4. An inflection point is formed at the low point P1 of the first total-reflection surface 44A, and the inflection point P21 may be formed at the change point to the second total-reflection surface 44B from the first total-reflection surface 44A. A curvature R21 of the first total-reflection surface 44A may be smaller than a curvature R22 of the second total-reflection surface 44B, and greater than a curvature R23 of a third total-reflection surface 44C. For example, the curvature R21 may be formed in the range of 0.4 mm to 0.9 mm.

The curvature R22 of the second total-reflection surface 44B is formed between the adjacent inflection points P21 and P22, and may be greater than the curvature R23 of the third total-reflection surface 44C. For example, the curvature R22 may be formed in the range of 6.5 mm to 7.5 mm.

The curvature R23 of the third total-reflection surface 44C is a curvature of a curved surface connecting the adjacent inflection points P22 and P23. The curvature R23 may be smaller than the curvature R21 of the first total-reflection surface 44A by at least three times, and may be greater than the curvature R24 of the convex portion 45 by at least twice. The curvatures R21 and R23 of the first and third total-reflection surfaces 44A and 44C are curvatures of curved surfaces that are concave in the direction of the optical axis Z. The curvature R24 of the convex portion 45 is a curvature of a curved surface that is convex in the direction of the optical axis Z. The curvature R24 of the convex portion 45 may be formed in the range of 0.7 mm to 0.12 mm.

Since the curvature R23 of the third total-reflection surface 44C is greater than the curvature R24 of the convex portion 45 by at least twice, the contour connected with the convex portion 45 may have a rapidly curved surface. The curvature R24 of the convex portion 45 is smaller than the curvatures R21, R22, and R23 of the first to third total-reflection surfaces 44A, 44B, and 44C.

The exit surface 42 is connected with the outer surface 43 while representing a convex curvature R24 outward of the optical axis Z from a second inflection point P24 connected with the convex portion 45 to the inflection point P25. The inflection point P24 is provided outward of the apex 45A of the optical lens 4.

The outer surface 43 is connected between an inflection point P25 and a low point P26 of the exit surface 42, and may be formed in the shape of a linear contour. The position of the inflection point P25 between the exit surface 42 and the outer surface 43 may be higher than the position of the low point P1 of the recess portion 44 based on a horizontal segment, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

Since a boundary is set at the top surface of the reflective member 11 by the convex portion 45, the width of the top surface of the reflective member 11 may be narrower than the width (or diameter) between apexes 45A of the optical lens 4, and may be wider than the width (or diameter) between the first inflection points P23. In addition, the peripheral portion of the top surface of the reflective member 11, which serves as a contact point with the optical lens 4, may be lower than the apex P45A of the optical lens 4, and may be higher than the first inflection point P23.

According to the embodiment, the convex portion 45 is formed in the direction of the optical axis Z between the recess portion 44 having a plurality of total-reflection surfaces 44A to 44C and the exit surface 42. The convex portion 45 can prevent the reflective member 11, which is filled in the recess portion 44, from being provided beyond the recess portion 44. Therefore, the boundary of the reflective member 11 can be defined, and the reflective member 11 can be prevented from exerting an influence on the surfaces of the exit surfaces 42 and 43. Accordingly, the reliability for the distribution of the light orientation angles can be improved.

FIG. 8 is a side sectional view showing a light emitting device according to the fifth embodiment. FIG. 9 is a partial enlarged view of FIG. 8.

Referring to FIG. 8, a light emitting device 10D includes a light emitting chip 1, an optical lens 5 on the light emitting chip 1, and a reflective member 11 on the optical lens 5.

The light emitting chip 1 may be spaced apart from a light incident surface 51 of the optical lens 5 by a predetermined distance Z31. The distance Z31 may be 0.01 mm or more, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. In this case, the central portion of the light emitting chip 1 may be provided concentrically with respect to the center of the optical lens 5

The optical lens 5 includes an incident surface 41, an exit surface 42, an outer surface 53, a recess portion 44, and a convex portion 45. The incident surface 51 may include a flat surface or a flat surface, which is partially grooved, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

The light exit region of the optical lens 5 includes the exit surface 52 and the outer surface 53. The exit surface 52 may be convex outward of the optical axis Z, and the outer surface 53 may have a curved surface or a flat surface having the contour of a vertical line.

The recess portion 54 includes a first total-reflection surface 54A, a second total-reflection surface 54B, and a third total-reflection surface 54C. The first total-reflection surface 54A has the same center as that of the optical axis Z, and has the concave shape in the direction of the light emitting chip 1. The recess portion 54 may be recessed in the direction of the light emitting chip 1, and may have a rotational symmetry shape about the optical axis Z. The first total-reflection surface 54A may have a hemispherical shape. The second total-reflection surface 54B is provided in the direction opposite to those of the first and third total-reflection surfaces 54A and 54C, and has a curved surface that is convex with respect to the optical axis Z. The third total-reflection surface 54C has a curved surface that is concave.

The convex portion 55 has a curved surface that is convex in the direction of the optical axis Z between a first inflection point P34 and an apex 55A.

The convex portion 55 is connected between the third total-reflection surface 54C and the exit surfaces 52 and 53. The convex portion 55 has the apex 55A of the optical lens 5. In other words, the convex portion 55 is provided closer to the optical axis Z than the first exit surface 52. The section of the convex portion 55 has a curved surface that is convex in the direction of the optical axis Z.

In this case, when the light emitting chip 1 is employed as a reference point O, an angle θ4 formed between a first virtual segment E1, which passes through both of the reference point O and the first inflection point P34, and the optical axis Z may be in the range of 40° to 60°.

An angle θ41 formed between a second virtual segment E2, which serves as a tangential line making contact with the outer curved surface of the recess portion 54 while starting from the reference point O, and the optical axis Z is greater than the angle θ5. For example, the angle θ41 may be in the range of 41° to 75°.

An angle θ42 formed between a third vertical segment E3, which serves as a tangential line making contact with the innermost curved surface of the convex portion 55 while starting from the reference point O, and the optical axis Z may at an angle equal to or smaller than the angle θ4. The optical axis Z may be formed in the range of 35° to 65°.

The convex portion 55 is formed in a ring shape between the first inflection point P34 and the apex 55A. The ring shape protrudes around the recess portion 54 while representing a dam shape. The diameter of the convex portion 55 is shorter than a diameter X31 between apexes 55A of the optical lens 5, and wider than a diameter X32 between the first inflection points P34.

Since the convex portion 55 is provided inward of the second virtual segment E2 passing the outermost portion of the recess portion 24 from the reference point O, the convex portion 55 hardly exerts an influence on the light emitted from the light emitting chip 1. In other words, since the convex portion 55 is actually provided at a region to which the light emitted from the light emitting chip 1 is not directly incident, the convex portion 55 may not exert an influence on the distribution of the light orientation angle. Accordingly, the convex portion 55 may improve the product yield of the optical lens 2.

When viewed from the top, the optical lens 5 has a circular shape, and a diameter of the optical lens 5 is in the range of 2.50±0.5 mm, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

A distance D34 between the optical axis Z and the first inflection point P34 may be formed in the range of 75% to 85% of the distance D31. For example, the distance D34 may be formed in the range of 2.0±0.5 mm.

A distance X34 between the optical axis Z and a second inflection point P35 of the exit surface 52 is longer than the distance D34, and may be formed in the range of 82% to 86% of the radius D31. For example, the distance D34 may be formed in the range of 2.1±0.2 mm. The segment perpendicular to the first inflection point P34 is spaced from the outermost portion of the optical lens 5 by a predetermined distance D32, and the distance D32 may be formed in the range of 15% to 25% of the radius D31. The segment perpendicular to the apex 55A is spaced apart from the outermost portion of the optical lens 5 by the distance D32, and the distance D32 may be shorter than the radius D31.

The apex 55A of the convex portion 55 is provided inward of the tangential line making contact with the third total-reflection surface 54C of the convex portion 55 at the region between the first inflection point P34 and the apex P35 (e.g, second inflection point) of the exit surface 52.

A distance X36 between the apex 55A and a segment perpendicular to the first inflection point P34 is in the range of ½ to ⅓ of the width of the convex portion 55. The distance X36 may be formed in the range of 0.06 mm to 0.12 mm. A distance Z34 between the apex 55A and a segment horizontal to the first inflection point P34 is a height of the convex portion 55. The distance Z34 may be in the range of 0.03 mm to 0.07 mm. The inner region of the convex portion 55 is provided inward of the apex 55A of the optical lens 5, to serve as an outer boundary of the reflective member 11, thereby effectively preventing the reflective member 11 from being positioned beyond the convex portion 55.

Referring to FIG. 9, a thickness Z34 of the optical lens 5 may be formed in the range of 0.8 mm±0.2 mm, and a depth Z33 of the recess portion 54 may be formed in the range of 87% to 92% of the thickness Z34 of the optical lens 5. The thickness Z54 is smaller than the radius D11, and may be formed in the range of 30% to 55% of the radius D11. The thickness (Z34−Z33) at the central portion of the optical lens 3 is an interval between points P1 and P0, and may be formed in the range of 8% to 13% of the thickness Z34.

In addition, inflection points may be formed at the recess portion 54 and the exit surfaces 52 and 53 of the optical lens 5. An inflection point is formed at the low point P1 of the first total-reflection surface 54A, and the inflection point P31 may be formed at the change point to the second total-reflection surface 54B from the first total-reflection surface 54A. A curvature R31 of the first total-reflection surface 54A is a curvature of a curved surface that is concave in the direction of the optical axis Z. The curvature R31 may be greater than a curvature R33 of the third total-reflection surface 54C. The curvature R31 may be formed in the range of 0.7 mm to 1 mm.

The second total-reflection surface 54B includes a plurality of inflection points P31, P32, and P33 between the first and third total-reflection surfaces 54A and 54C, and is connected therebetween through convex curved surfaces. A curvature R32 of a contour between the inflection points P31 and P32 at the second total-reflection surface 54B may be smaller than the curvature R33 of the contour between the inflection points P32 and P33. The curvature R32 may be 1 mm or less, and the curvature R33 may be 6 mm or more.

The curvature R34 of the third total-reflection surface 54C is the curvature of a curved surface connecting the inflection points P53 and P54 adjacent to each other. The curvature R34 may be smaller than the curvature R31 of the first total-reflection surface 54A by at least three times, and may be greater than the curvature R35 of the convex portion 55 by at least two times. The curvatures R31 and R33 of the first and third total-reflection surfaces 54A and 54C are curvatures of curves surfaces that are concave in the direction of the optical axis Z. The curvature R35 of the convex portion 55 may be formed in the range of 0.8 mm to 0.12 mm.

The curvature R34 of the third total-reflection surface 54C makes a difference from the curvature R35 of the convex portion 55 by at least two times. Since the direction of the curved surface of the convex portion 55 is opposite to the direction of the curved surface of the third total-reflection surface 54C, the convex portion 55 may have a rapidly-curved surface. The curvature R35 of the convex portion 55 is smaller than the curvatures R31 and R32 of the first and second total-reflection surfaces 54A and 54B.

The exit surface 52 is connected with the outer surface 33 while representing the convex curvature R36 outward of the optical axis Z from the inflection point P35 connected with the convex portion 55 to the last inflection point P36. The inflection point P35 is provided outward of the apex 55A of the optical lens 5.

The outer surface 53 may be connected between the inflection point P36 of the exit surface 52 and a low point P37, and may be formed in the shape of a linear contour. The position of the inflection point P36 between the exit surface 52 and the outer surface 53 may be higher than the position of the low point P1 of the recess portion 54 based on a horizontal segment, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

Since a boundary is set at the top surface of the reflective member 11 by the convex portion 55, the width of the top surface of the reflective member 11 may be narrower than the width (or diameter) between apexes 55A of the optical lens 5, and may be wider than the width (or diameter) between the first inflection points P34. In addition, the peripheral portion of the top surface of the reflective member 11, which serves as a contact point with the optical lens 5, may be lower than the apex P55A of the optical lens 5, and may be higher than the first inflection point P34.

According to the embodiment, the convex portion 55 is formed in the direction of the optical axis Z between the recess portion 54 having a plurality of total-reflection surfaces 54A to 54C and the exit surface 52. The convex portion 55 can prevent the reflective member 11, which is filled in the recess portion 54, from being provided beyond the recess portion 54. Therefore, the boundary of the reflective member 11 can be defined, and the reflective member 11 can be prevented from exerting an influence on the surface of the exit surfaces 52 and 53. Accordingly, the reliability for the distribution of the light orientation angles can be improved.

The reflective member provided on the recess portion of the optical lens disclosed according to the first to fourth embodiments may be omitted, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

FIGS. 10 to 14 are views showing the distribution of light orientation angles through the optical lenses according to the first and second embodiments.

FIGS. 10 and 11 show cases that the reflective member is not applied to the optical lens according to the embodiment, and show the distribution of the light orientation angles in first and second directions perpendicular to each other. The distribution characteristic of light shown in FIG. 10 represents the distribution of the orientation angles in the first direction (longitudinal direction or lengthwise direction) of the optical lens. The distribution characteristic of light shown in FIG. 11 represents the distribution of the orientation angles in the second direction (transverse direction or widthwise direction) of the optical lens. In this case, the widthwise direction of the optical lens is a longitudinal direction, and a direction perpendicular to a transverse direction (or widthwise direction) of the optical lens. The length of the optical lens in the longitudinal direction may be equal to or different from the length of the optical lens in the transverse direction.

FIGS. 12 and 13 show cases that a reflective member is applied to the optical lens according to the embodiment. FIGS. 12 and 13 show the distribution of the wide light orientation angles in the first and second directions, for example, shows the distribution of the orientation angles more than 155°. In addition, when the reflective member is applied, the intensity of a center beam is represented with 30% or less in FIG. 12, and represented with 35% or less in FIG. 13.

FIG. 14 is a view showing a ray tracing result in the light emitting device of FIG. 2, in which light is not incident into the convex portion 25 of the optical lens 2. The convex portion 25 defines the boundary of the reflective member 11 to prevent the exit surface 22 of the optical lens 2 from being affected by the reflective member 11. The assembling structure of the disclosed light emitting device having the optical lens 2 with the light emitting chip 1 may be modified, and the details thereof will be described in the following embodiments.

FIG. 15 is a perspective view showing a light emitting device according to the sixth embodiment, and FIG. 16 is a sectional view taken along line A-A of the light emitting device shown in FIG. 15. FIG. 17 is a sectional view taken along line B-B of the light emitting device shown in FIG. 15. FIG. 18 is a sectional view taken along line C-C of the light emitting device shown in FIG. 15. FIG. 19 is a perspective view showing a lead frame of the light emitting device of FIG. 15.

Referring to FIGS. 15 to 19, a light emitting device 100 includes a plurality of lead frames 121 and 131 spaced apart from each other, a first body 141 provided in the lead frames 121 and 131, a second body 151 having a first opening 150 and made of a material different from that of the first body 141 on the first body 141, a light emitting chip 161 provided on at least one of the lead frames 121 and 131, a transparent resin layer 171 formed in the first opening 150 while surrounding the light emitting chip 161, and an optical lens 181 on the transparent resin layer 171 and the second body 151.

According to the light emitting device 100, a first direction X may refer to the direction of a length W1, a second direction Z perpendicular to the first direction X may refer to a width W3, and a direction perpendicular to a top surface of the light emitting chip 161 may refer to the direction Y of a normal line to the light emitting chip 161.

The length W1 of the light emitting device 100 may be the distance between the lateral sides of the lead frames 121 and 131, and may be longer than a length W2 of the first body 141. End portions of the lead frames 121 and 131 may protrude out of an outer sidewall of the first body 141 to adhere to an adhesive member such as a solder paste. The width of the light emitting device 100 may be the width W3 of the first body 141. Since the width W3 of the first body 141 is wider than a width W4 of each of the lead frames 121 and 131, the light orientation angle can be provided with a wide distribution.

As shown in FIGS. 16 and 19, the lead frames 121 and 131 include the first lead frame 121 and the second lead frame 131. The first lead frame 121 includes a first groove 123 and a first hole 122. The first groove 123 may be formed at a depth lower than that of a top surface of the first lead frame 121, and provided at a peripheral portion of a chip region A1. In this case, the peripheral portion of the chip region A1 may be a region between the chip region A1 and one lateral side of the first lead frame 121, or at least two lateral sides of the first lead frame 121. The thickness of the first lead frame 121 in the first groove 123 may be equal to the thickness of a portion of the first lead frame 121 without the first groove 123, or may have a thickness as thin as that of the region of the first groove 123. Therefore, a portion of the first lead frame 121 opposite to the first groove 123 may protrude or may have a flat structure. A plurality of first holes 122 are spaced apart from each other, and provided between the first groove 123 and the lateral sides of the first lead frame 121.

The second lead frame 131 includes a second groove 133 and a second hole 132. The second groove 133 has a depth lower than that of a top surface of the second lead frame 131, and is lengthwise formed along the direction of a width W4 of the second lead frame 131. The width of the second groove 133 may be longer than the length A4 of the second lead frame 131. The second groove 133 may be provided at the outside of a bonding region A2, that is, at an opposite region of the first lead frame 121. A plurality of holes 132 may be arranged with a predetermined interval therebetween at the outside of the second groove 133. The second lead frame 131 at the second groove 133 may have the thickness equal to that of a portion of the lead frame 131 without the second groove 133, or may have the thickness as thin as the depth of the second groove 133. Therefore, a portion of the second lead frame 131 opposite to the second groove 133 may protrude or may have a flat structure.

The width A3 of the first lead frame 121 may be longer than the width A4 of the second lead frame 131. In addition, the first lead frame 121 having the light emitting chip may be formed with a wider area.

The first and second lead frames 121 and 131 includes at least one of metallic materials such as titanium (Ti), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), gold (Au), chrome (Cr), tantalum (Ta), platinum (Pt), tin (Sn), silver (Ag), phosphorous (P). The first and second lead frames 121 and 131 may include a single metallic layer or metallic layers different from each other, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

One or at least two of the first holes 122 and the second holes 132 may have a wider lower portion and a narrower upper portion. At least of the first and second holes 122 and 132, and the first and second grooves 123 and 133 may not be formed.

A first end portion 124 of the first lead frame 121 corresponds to a second end portion 134 of the second lead frame 131. A gap 115 between the first end portion 124 of the first lead frame 121 and the second end portion 134 of the second lead frame may have an interval G1 at the outer portion thereof greater than an interval at the center thereof, or may have the same interval at the outer portion and the center thereof. The first end portion 124 of the first lead frame 121 is closer to the second end portion 134 of the second lead frame 131 are provided with a narrower interval therebetween, so that the bonding space among the light emitting chip 161, a first wire 166, and a second wire 167 can be ensured.

The first lead frame 121 includes the first end portion 124 and a first step structure 128 formed along both bent lateral sides of the first end portion 124. In the first step structure 128, an outer peripheral region of the bottom surface of the first lead frame 121 has a step structure. The first step structure 128 may be disposed in at least one lateral side of the first lead frame 121, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

The second lead frame 131 includes the second end portion 134 and a second step structure 138 formed along both bent lateral sides of the second end portion 134. In the second step structure 138, an outer peripheral region of the bottom surface of the second lead frame 131 has a step structure. The second step structure 138 may be formed in at least one lateral side or at least two lateral sides of the second lead frame 131, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

Although an example that two lead frames are formed in one group has been described, at least three lead frames may be formed. In addition, when viewed from the top, the first and second lead frames 121 and 131 may have a rectangular shape or another shape. In addition, at least a portion of the lead frames 121 and 131 may be bent, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

As shown in FIGS. 16, 17, 19, and 20, the first body 141 is disposed on the first and second lead frames 121 and 131. The first body 141 spaces the first lead frame 121 from the second lead frame 131. The first body 141 supports and fixes the first and second lead frames 121 and 131.

The bottom surface of the first body 141 may be aligned in line with the bottom surfaces of the first and second lead frames 121 and 131. A top surface 147 may be spaced apart from the top surfaces of the first and second lead frames 121 and 131.

The first body 141 may include a material representing reflectance higher than transmittance with respect to the wavelength emitted from a light emitting chip 161. For example, the first body 141 may include a material representing reflectance of 70% or more. If the reflectance is 70% or more, the material of the first body 141 may be a non-transparent material. The first body 141 may include an insulating material based on resin. For example, the first body 141 may include a resin material such as polyphthalamide (PPA). The first body 141 may include silicon, epoxy resin, thermosetting resin including a plastic material, a high heat resistance material, and a high heat resistance material. The silicon includes white color resin. In addition, the first body 141 may selectively include acid anhydride, an antioxidant, a release agent, an optical reflector, an inorganic filling agent, a curing catalyst, a light stabilizer, a lubricant, or a titanium dioxide. The first body 141 may be molded by using at least one selected from the group consisting of epoxy resin, modified epoxy resin, silicon resin, modified silicon resin, acrylic resin, and urethane resin. For instance, the first body 141 can be formed by using B-stage solid epoxy resin composition, which can be obtained by mixing the epoxy resin, such as triglycidylisocyanurate or hydride bisphenol A diglycidylether, with the acid anhydride promoter, such as hexahydro phthalic anhydride, 3-methyl hexahydro phthalic anhydride or 4-methyl hexahydro phthalic anhydride, and then partially hardening the mixture after adding DBU (1.8-Diazabicyclo(5,4,0)undecene-7) serving as a hardening accelerator and ethylene glycol, titanium oxide pigment or glass fiber serving as a promoter to the epoxy resin, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

In addition, a light shielding material or a diffusing agent is contained in the first body 141, so that transmitted light can be reduced. Further, the first body 141 includes the mixture of the thermosetting resin and at least one selected from the group consisting of a diffusing agent, pigments, a phosphor material, a reflective material, a light-shielding material, a light stabilizer, and a lubricant, so that the first body 141 has a predetermined function.

The top surface 147 of the first body 141 is formed with an area larger than that of the bottom surface of the second body 151, thereby reflecting light traveling in the direction of the top surface 147 of the first body 141, so that light loss can be reduced.

Referring to FIGS. 20 and 22, a portion of the first body 141 under the top surface of the lead frames 121 and 131 may be defined as a lower region of the first body 141, and a portion of the first body 141 on the top surface of the lead frames 121 and 131 may be defined as an upper region. In addition, the top surface 147 of the first body 141 may be classified into first and second top surface portions B3 and B4. The first top surface portion B3 may be closer to the light emitting chip 161 than the second top surface portion B4. The thickness of the first top surface portion B3 is gradually increased toward the outside thereof, so that an inclination surface may be formed. The second top surface portion B4 has a thickness greater than that of the first top surface portion B3, so that the second top surface portion B4 may have a flat surface or an inclined surface.

The maximum distance between the top surface 147 of the first body 141 and the top surface of the lead frames 121 and 131 is a thickness T1 of the second top surface portion B4 of the first body 141. The thickness T1 may be 50 μm or more. For example, the thickness T1 may be formed in the range of 50 μm to 300 μm. In this case, the thickness T1 of the second top surface portion B4 of the first body 141 may represent the thickest thickness in the upper region. In addition, the top surface 147 of the first body 141 may be provided on a line horizontally extending from the top surface of the light emitting chip 161, or the difference (T2−T1) between the line horizontally extending from the top surface 147 of the light emitting chip 161 and the top surface 147 of the first body 141 may be made to at least 1 μm, so that the light emitted from the light emitting chip 161 can be effectively incident and reflected. The first top surface portion B3 has a thickness thinner than that of the second top surface portion B4, so that a second light L2 travelling in a horizontal direction from the light emitting chip 161 can be effectively reflected as shown in FIG. 2.

A thickness T2 of the light emitting chip 161 may be formed in the range of 80 μm to 500 μm. For example, the thickness T2 may be formed in the range of 80 μm to 150 μm, but the embodiment is not limited thereto.

The first top surface portion B3 of the first body 141 may have an inclined surface which is not parallel to the top surfaces of the lead frames 121 and 131. For example, an angle between the first top surface portion B3 of the first body 141 and the top surfaces of the lead frames 121 and 131 may be formed in the range of 1° to 25°.

The second top surface portion B4 of the first body 141 may be parallel to the top surfaces of the lead frames 121 and 131. In this case, an angle θ5 between a line E4 extending from the first top surface portion B3 of the first body 141 and the normal line Z perpendicular to the top surface of the light emitting chip 161 may be 89° or less. For example, the angle θ5 may be formed in the range of 65° to 89°. An internal angle of the first top surface portion B3 of the first body 141 may be formed in the range of 135° to 180°. The light orientation angles of the light emitting device can be adjusted according to the angle θ5 between the line E4 extending from the first top surface portion B3 of the first body 141 and the normal line Z perpendicular to the top surface of the light emitting chip 161.

As shown in FIGS. 16 and 20, the first body 141 includes a separation part 142 and first to fourth coupling parts 143, 144, 145, and 146. The separation part 142 is provided in the gap 115 between the first and second lead frames 121 and 131. The width of a lower portion of the separation part 141 may be larger than the width of an upper portion of the separation part 141. The top surface of the separation part 141 may be formed horizontally to the top surfaces of the lead frames 121 and 131, or may be formed higher than the top surfaces of the lead frames 121 and 131. In this case, when the upper portion of the separation part 142 is higher than the top surfaces of the lead frames 121 and 131, the upper portion of the separation part 142 makes contact with the top surfaces of the first end portion 124 of the first lead frame 121 and the second end portion 134 of the second lead frame 131, thereby preventing moisture from being infiltrated.

The first coupling part 143 is formed in the first hole 122 of the first lead frame 121, and the second coupling part 144 is formed in the second hole 132 of the second lead frame 131. The third coupling part 145 is formed in the first groove 123 of the first lead frame 121, and the fourth coupling part 146 is formed in the second groove 133 of the second lead frame 131. The first body 141 may be tightly coupled with the first and second lead frames 121 and 131 through the separation part 142 and the first to fourth coupling parts 142, 144, 145, and 146.

As shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, the inner portion 148 of the first body 141 further extends between the first groove 123 of the first lead frame 121 and an opening 150-1, so that the contact area between the first body 141 and the inner portion 152A of the second body 151 can be increased.

The first body 141 serves as a member to effectively reflect light of the light emitting chip 161, which may include a resin molded member. The first body 141 may be provided at the center thereof with the opening 150-1. The top surfaces of the first and second lead frames 121 and 131 may be exposed through the opening 150-1. The opening 150-1 may have a circular shape, a polygonal shape, or a shape having a curved surface. The first body 141 may have a substantially rectangular parallepiped shape. The outer peripheral portion of the first body 141 may have a polygonal shape when viewed from the top. Although the first body 141 has the rectangular parallelepiped shape, the first body 141 may have an oval shape, a circular shape, or another polygonal shape when viewed from the top.

As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, an outer portion of the first lead frame 121 protrudes from the lower portion of a first outer surface S1 among four outer surface constituting the first body 141, and an outer portion of the second lead frame 131 protrudes from the lower portion of a second outer surface S2 opposite to the first outer surface S1. As shown in FIGS. 15 and 18, third and fourth outer surfaces S3 and S4 of the first body 141, which are opposite to each other, are formed outward of the outer surfaces of the first and second lead frames 121 and 131. An outer portion 149 of the first body 141 covers the outer surfaces of the first and second lead frames 121 and 131. A lower end portion 149A extends to the bottom surfaces of the first and second lead frames 121 and 131 from the outer portion 149 of the first body 141, so that the lower end portion 149A can be coupled with the step structures 128 and 138 as shown in FIG. 5.

As shown in FIG. 16, the second body 151 may be formed on the first body 141. The second body 151 may include a transparent material. For example, the second body 151 may include silicone resin or epoxy resin. The second body 151 may be formed through an injection molding scheme, and may include a transparent material. Accordingly, the second body 151 can effectively transmit first and second light L1 and L2 emitted from the light emitting chip 161.

An outer surface S5 of the second body 151 is provided inward of the outer sidewall 23 of the optical lens 2, and may make contact with a portion of the outer sidewall 23 of the optical lens 2. Accordingly, the coupling forth between the second body 151 and the optical lens 2 is increased. When viewed from the top, the second body 151 may have a circular shape. According to another embodiment, the second body 151 may have a polygonal shape or an oval shape, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. Although the description has been made in that the second body 151 has the vertical outer surface S5, the second body 151 may have a curved surface such as a hemispherical shape. The outer surface having the shape of a curved surface can provide a wider light exit surface.

The width of the second body 151 may be smaller than the width W4 of the first body 141 as shown in FIG. 15. According to the embodiment, the width of the second body 151 may be equal to or greater than the width W4 of the first body 141. Accordingly, the contact area between the first and second bodies 141 and 151 is increased, thereby preventing moisture from being infiltrated into the interfacial surface between the first and second bodies 141 and 151 having different materials, so that the reliability of the package can be improved.

The second body 151 includes the second thermosetting resin representing the transmittance of 70% or more with respect to the wavelength emitted from the light emitting chip 161. The second thermosetting resin may include at least one selected from the group consisting of silicon-containing resin, transparent epoxy resin, modified epoxy resin, transparent silicon resin, modified silicon resin, acrylate resin, and urethane resin. In the second body 151, at least one selected from the group consisting of a filler, a diffusing agent, pigments, a phosphor material, and a reflective material may be mixed with the second thermosetting resin, so that the second body 151 has a predetermined function. In addition, the second thermosetting resin may contain a diffusing agent. For example, the diffusing agent may include barium titanate (BaTiO3), titanium oxide (TiO₂), aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) or silicon oxide (SiO₂).

As shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, the second body 151 has the first opening 150, and the first opening 150 may correspond to the central regions of the lead frames 121 and 131. The first opening 150 may have a width smaller than that of the opening 150-1 of the first body 141. An inner lateral side 152 of the second body 151 may be perpendicular to the top surface of the first lead frame 121 or the top surface of the second lead frame 131, or may be inclined at an angle of 90° to 180°.

The inner portion 152A of the second body 151 is closer to the light emitting chip 161 than the inner portion 148 of the first body 141, and may make contact with the top surfaces of the lead frames 121 and 131. In addition, the inner portion 152A of the second body 151 makes contact with the top surface of the first body 141, so that the adhesive strength between the inner portion 152A of the second body 151 and the first body 141 can be increased. The structure can effectively prevent moisture from being infiltrated.

The second exit surface 23 of the optical lens 2 is formed outward of the outer surface S5 of the second body 151, and may make contact with the top surface of the first body 141. The second exit surface 23 of the optical lens 2 covers the peripheral portion of the second body 151 to closely make contact with the outer surface of the second body 151, thereby adjusting the orientation angle of the second light L2 reflected by the first body 141 or the first light L1 transmitted through the second body 151.

The peripheral portion of the optical lens 2 may have a circular shape for the light distribution. When viewed from the top, the optical lens 2 may have a circular shape or an oval shape.

Referring to FIGS. 15 and 16, the light emitted from the light emitting chip 161 of the light emitting device 100 is emitted in all directions. In this case, a portion of light transmitted through the transparent resin layer 171 is transmitted through the second body 151, and a remaining portion of the light is incident into the optical lens 2 through the top surface of the transparent resin layer 171. In addition, a portion of the light incident into the optical lens 2 is reflected through the total-reflection surfaces of the recess portion 24. The reflected light may be reflected by the top surface of the second body 151 or may be reflected by the top surface of the first body 141 when the light is transmitted through the second body 151. Therefore, according to the light emitting device 100, light can be emitted substantially horizontally by the first body 141 provided lower than the top surface of the light emitting chip 161. In addition, as shown in FIG. 22, as the angle θ5 is increased, the light orientation angle is more increased. As the angle θ5 is reduced, the light orientation angle is more reduced. Accordingly, the light orientation angle can be adjusted according to the inclined surface or the thickness of the first body 141.
